Sorry for the delay in getting back and answering questions. This was E85. The FP Black is basically an HTA3582 wheel shoe horned into a stock appearing housing. I didnt post it but the car made 370 on 92 octane pretty easily but it was focusing on the E85 tune so I didnt push the gas too...

Forgot to mention that, it is an FP race manifold.

I am impressed with the DSM version of the FP Black so far as it compares to my experience with the Evo 4-9 version. Here is a car that is pretty much mod for mod and boost for boost (where it matters) above 6400. The reason it was higher boost down low but the same torque is do to me using...

We have been taking care of Willy's GVR4 for quite awhile. It has been a stock 6 bolt for a long time, happy and content on 92 and a stock motor. However recently Willy got the power bug and decided to have us build him something that was capable of pushing the FP Black safely to 500whp...

Can't spell disappointment without DSM.Did this shop build the shortblock originally? From what I am reading I only see that they had the head of which isnt related to the failure. What were the clearances on the motor if you happen to know? There is always an explanation on what happened...

Fuel is the main component that affects how you tune. Next is oiling, making sure you run a half quart high prevents starvation in corners. What we find with the Evos is pretty simple-Gasoline- 2* lower timing than a normal drag tune, 10.7-10.9 AFR, 21-22psi. Intercooler efficiency as well...

That was also on a junkyard, 20+ year old trans, that only had valvebody and clutch packs. A new trans like Jeff's with cryo'd internals is already underway...as are some other mods.

They will definitely leave room to grow with a bigger turbo or different intake manifold.

yeah those would be fine.

I apologise, I thought it was fairly concise in context.Any equivalent GSC camshaft, i.e. Kelford 264s to S1s, 272s to S2s, 280/276 to S3s in a Mitsubishi 4G63/4. Personally invested, no. I use them and sell them because they have been proven at the track with real times and on the dyno...

Kelfords are knock happy and consistently make 20whp less than any GSC product. Like I said, fixed. But what do we know, we just helped test all of the designs for the last 6 years?

fixed that for youNick

You really shouldnt be running the HKS with stock springs. I know they are advertised that way but any DSM with unknown mileage stockers needs new valvesprings.

Kelfords consistently make 20whp less, need degreed, and are more knock prone. If wanted that I would leave stock cams in my DSM.Short answer- GSC>Kelford

There will always be a little loss with more duration. As was pointed out though the S1s dont lose anywhere. In the Evos we use those as Roadrace and rally cams. I dont know where you are seeing full boost at right now, but typically an HTA3076 and 2.0L with S2s will spool just before 4,000...

Cams went in with the cam gears set up exactly the same, -3.75* on both for the deck height change. No other changes were made, one day Aaron made a pull with the car and the HKS, next morning it was S2s. As close to back to back as possible around here.Really it is the same results you'd...

Correct. We did the same thing with a 264/272 combo earlier last year and posted the results. This was straight 272s this time around. Also remember the Evo head is only a glorified 2G head so the results do have merit. It was a stock intake manifold as well, which is comparable to the Evo3...

R&R makes them, and are less than the Pauter as well as lighter. We can get them in 21mm and 22mm (recommended) for 6 bolt in any length.Aaron

Here is the current pricing-GSC CamshaftsI really feel that there isnt any cam that can touch the GSC in any of the 3 versions. For an example, Jeff's 1G runs off the shelf S3s with no tricks. My Evo runs an aggressive S2 bordering on the S3 to make 830+whp on a 3794. Luke runs the S1s in...

So last week we ended up doing this test not by plan thoughHere is the story of why it happened.So we have Tony's car in our shop doing our ported head and ETS 3586 turbo upgrade. There were a group of things that were going on that caused the car to be at our shop for a few months. So...

So we just did a test on the HKS 272 (full set, not 264/272 in this test) and had very surprising results. I am Johnbradley on that forum-Old test done again HKS 272 VS GSC S2 30hp gain - evolutionm.netI will also move those results over here for discussion. Max lift vs max flow is easy...

Bad ass Patrick.I talked to Sean yesterday about it, congrats.Aaron

Sharma,I would run the S2 with that combo and the 2.2L displacement. A 92mm crank or 94mm or the even rarer turned down diesel crank?Aaron

Just noticed some comments in this thread. The DSM S2 is a completely new design and was never revised at any point. They were only ever released with the then garnered knowledge from Evo 8s and engine simulation prior to release.In an Evo 8 there is no appreciable spool loss on small...

To answer a few questions I noticed.Stock converters chew up between 11-12% power in a DSM over a manual. This is restalled so I was estimating 15% (4500rpm) where something like Jeff's is 22% (dyno proven).As autos make more power the flash on the converter goes up with the power. I was...

Glad to see it all finally come together and exceed both our goals. The way the motor makes power I think the 11.5 should be cake.Aaron

Not sure what they are running now, but once upon a time (as pictured) this was on V2 and Translator and ran 8s at 170 (I could be wrong but its what I recall)-1984 Mitsubishi Mirage - Garrett 4202 Turbine - Turbo & High-Tech Performance

Nice. Good work man.

There is no nifty port work, its bolt on and go.Everyone on this board seems hung up on lbs/min but in this case it does flow rather close to that. It made a best of 408whp through the auto on a stock converter. Those have been dyno'd (stock) to be 11-12% less than a manual between the...

I dont know about that. It has had a lot go into setup and getting it too launch. Weight helps on not breaking parts but its definitely the only answer. There is no converter technology nor is there any nitrous in the car. there are definitely more ways to skin a cat.

Thats what it normally traps if it launches without spinning. 405-420whp through the auto and 2350 lbs. As you can see from the top half of the track its an 1/8th mile machine.

8.8" is 43/13 for the R&P tooth count...that is 3.307, they round up for ease of operation.

9.95 @ 133 with a 1.42 60'

Hmmm someone broke a record today :) LOL

Jesse,That is straight doing work, good job :)We broke them on the other side, breaking the cup is interesting.Aaron

Correct no swaybars anywhere in the car

Myles says he aint skurred.

Its full on vacuum with the pedal as the switch. So whatever that little pump would normally compress its doing as vacuum with full voltage.Aaron

yes backwards for vacuum. I recommend putting a switch on it so its not on all the time when you are on the brakes.Nitrous is the way.Tighter converter is not the way.

I think we set it up for a 65? I will have to look in my desk and see what jets are missing :)Congrats on the runs mike, hopefully next year you dont have to run 8 second cars and can get into another class.

Awesome. No complaints at all and the weight reduction all helps. We have flat bottomed the car and really started working on the aero this year. The AeroTube that Mike uses in the arms goes a long way to compliment that.

HTA42R, i've seen... | FacebookOff the shelf to me.

Brakeman Brakes...Shute if nothing else.Aaron

Video and timeslip will be forthcoming. A long day the day before, little sleep, a long day at the track, and then the drive home make things take a little longer. I am sure Luke is working on it this morning as we have both off car and go pro video of all the runs.Kevin (aaron here) sorry I...

2nd fastest on Gas at this point. Kevin ran an 8.21, we ran an 8.35, AMS ran an 8.42 in their 2.1L Evo.

Brand new Bosch 90 amp now has the pump working very nice. The one on there was an old Bosch that lasted 3 years at this point on a racecar and who knows how many years on a street car.

Its a 9" ford. Its been in there when the car was full unibody. It is now a tubeframe car so it hangs in there a little better. It also appears he is running a 26x10.5 in the rear now vs the 26x8.5 all around like he used to and we currently are.

...lol...

4 bolt LSD, ring and pinion are inconsequential.
